International students

Our degrees focus on preparing you for the workplace by providing theoretical knowledge, as well as practical interdisciplinary skills and professional experience opportunities. We do this through joint initiatives with business and industry and by integrating internships, mentoring and practical placements into our degrees.

You’ll be assessed in your studies to achieve learning outcomes and develop your graduate capabilities. The types of assessment will vary depending on the course, program and school. Types of assessment may include (but are not limited to):

• Written or oral examinations
• Written assessment (essays, articles, reports, case studies, etc.)
• Practice-based assessment (performances, presentations etc.)
• Research-based assessment (thesis, dissertation, etc.)
• Workplace-based assessment (internships, clinical practicums, teaching practice etc.)
• Viva voce assessment (oral assessments)
• Reflective writing
• Group-based assessment
• Class participation
• Peer assessment
• Student negotiated assessment
• Portfolio/evidence assessment

More specific information on assessment practices can be accessed via the Policy: Assessment in Higher Education Coursework, ELICOS and Enabling Courses, and the Procedure: Assessment in Higher Education Coursework, ELICOS and Enabling Courses.
